History: During the day, Modeste Minet is just another schoolboy of
the town of Raminagroville. At night, however, he turns into Supermatou
[Supertomcat], also known to the locals as the Boxing-Gosse! With him is
his dog Robert, a canine know-all. Supermatou and Robert fly over the streets
of Raminagroville, dealing with crooks and mad scientists and inventors.
A recurring enemy is Agagax, a six-month old mad scientist, who can turn
his pram into a flying machine and uses his feeding bottles as test tubes
in his experiments. To defeat the tiny terror, Supermatou often has to call
on the help of the elderly and amiable Professor Chanteclair.

Supermatou appeared in serialised form in the weekly comic magazine "Pif
Gadget" in 1975 and 1976.
